Let's just all agree, this video is just the ultimate proof that the Professor is simply an outstanding content creator and human being. Sincerity, a strong moral compass and charity. I'm really casual on the MTG hobby, but watching the Professor is what keeps my tie with it strong, because it mantains my faith in this community!

[hmchem]

That message: "You should never accept less than what you deserve!"
It fits so many situations, and watching your videos show that Prof. You're awesome!

[Riandr]

Being embarrassed is fine, mistakes are human, and are the best learning tool. Props to the Prof for the video, not many would admit fault, and to turn it into a PSA, even better.

[CynicalLight]

As an Amazon employee let me explain, Items are treated roughly. Yeah, I know. Warehouse employees are under so much pressure to increase speed and productivity that items are flying all over the place and smashed in totes. There's no incentive to handle anything with care and I've seen pop figures and magic cards get knocked right out of a shelf because more products were being shoved through the other side without any thought. Also, if you're buying from a third party seller make sure you read the refund policy and inspect the products thoroughly. It might feel awful not getting what you wanted, but knowing you can get your money back helps a little.

The one upside I see with Amazon’s poor handling of magic products is that it incentivises people to purchase products from local game stores instead. Thanks for bringing this problem to the attention of the community!

Sometimes the box is just damaged but the packs are intact.

The box “died” to save those packs for you prof.

[OftenAlwaysFresh]

Your authenticity is admirable. It takes a big man to apologize when they've made a mistake, glad to see your first box was not a troll. Cheers prof

[zombieslayer]

honestly the fact that the first box was legit and you still opened all of it was very respectable in my eyes...if i ever decide to start seriously getting into magic ill keep this channel in mind

[matthewlandis]

One of the most important things I’ve learned from this channel is to not go on Amazon and just take the extra time to stop by my game store to look around and buy stuff there. I just love the irony and how we all still fall victim to ourselves at times. Thank you for the honesty.

[JabariMongoose]

I’m happy to see your first box, while damaged, the packs were not affected. Don’t beat yourself over it Prof. Everyone appreciates how upfront and honest you were about the whole situation.

[ThirdOfNine]

I decided to ditch Amazon and only buy from my local stores earlier this year, and these recent videos of people receiving boxes that were either tampered with or extremely damaged has only reinforced my decision. Thanks again, Professor.

[TechSway]

Honestly, this has been one of my favourite videos to watch. I don't believe that you needed to feel embarrassed, after all, we're only human and we all make mistakes. However, seeing you be genuinely humble, honest and raw is admirable. The fact that you also then ended the video with the charity to your supporters and viewers was amazing to see as it wasn't necessary but again, showed your true character. Keep up the great work!

[aqtcnja]

I respect how you decided to make this video. Just cause you bought from Amazon doesn't change the fact that you are still one of the best content creators who shows that you care for your audience, which makes me appreciative of what you do for MTG and for card games as a whole.

[joshbrockway]

"You should never accept less than what you deserve!" is a motto for life that more of us need to take up. Keep up the great work prof, thank you good sir!

[michael-luce]

Prof, as a newer player with a smaller budget, I greatly appreciate everything you do in helping to demonstrate the risks and benefits of buying cards in different ways. I've said it before on other videos, but sincerely - thank you for your help and service in this community

[markpope]

Thank you for your honesty and for emphasizing the importance of supporting local venders. I am a brand new MTG player and your channel continues to help me scale the Magic learning curve. What fun!

[edwards.pellizzari]

“You should never accept less than you deserve.” good quote related to MTG, excelent mantra for your life!

[Techy]

You're a good person Prof. I appreciate your honesty, and humility in tough situation and you went above and beyond to make up for something a decent minded would never blame you for. Saving $150 on 3 boxes is no joke and on all accounts know you didn't do anything wrong here. We are all human!

[CareyBanyas]

The candid nature of this video is refreshing. Feels like a conversation we are having. Keep up the great work Prof!

[brianking]

I don't play this game or collect these cards (my daughter just got into Pokemon so this popped up for me). Just wanted to say your videos are really well done. Great presentation and communication style. Bravo
